He spent around a decade in the indies, before moving to WWE. His brief stint in WWE NXT saw him winning the NXT Tag Team titles on one occasion, with Adrian Neville.

After suffering a second concussion in 2014, Graves' career came to an end. He was 30 when he announced his official retirement.

Famously dubbed as the final graduate of the legendary Hart Dungeon, Tyson Kidd was a main roster regular from 2009 to 2015. He and David Hart Smith formed a team, with Natalya by the duo's side. Kidd won the tag team titles on three occasions, alongside Smith and Cesaro.

Cesaro and Kidd competed in the first-ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match in 2015, which was the latter's last televised match. He suffered a spinal cord injury during a dark match against Samoa Joe on WWE RAW, which ultimately ended his career. Kidd was 35 at the time of his last match.
